When she agreed to help yesterday, she didn't expect the day to be today.

She woke up to at least 10 messages from Hyunjae, reminding her to be prepared because Hwayoung already found a 'cool' place.

Now, here she is. Waiting for Hyunjae, Hwayoung, and Jacob to pick her up. Luckily, her dad wasn't home since yesterday due to an 'important' meeting.

"Yina, your friends just arrived." an old lady known as Mrs. Ahn tells her, as she's passing by. Mrs. Ahn has been working at their house since she was born, hence she's really close to the lady.

"Oh, thanks aunty. I'll be back soon."
"See you."

As soon as she walks out, she could see Jacob driving and Hwayoung beside him. Meaning, she'll be sitting at the back with Hyunjae.

"Good morning !"
"Good morning, Hwayoung."

After buckling up, the car starts moving. Yina didn't talk much, just hearing the conversation within the other three.

The ride to their location isn't long, as Hwayoung and Jacob managed to find a nearby underwater photoshoot place.

"You can use this room. Feel free to ring us up if you need anything. Enjoy your shooting." the worker leads them to a room, and the first they see is a water tank.

A good thing about this place is, they have a hands-on service where customers can use the room without any of their photographer's help. They also have a mini wardrobe for customers to choose their outfits.

Hwayoung decided to give Yina a white flowy dress since it'll look prettier underwater. Meanwhile, Jacob easily picked out a matching white shirt for Hyunjae.

After changing into the clothes, both Hyunjae and Yina climb up to the tank, getting ready to get in.

But, that's when Yina suddenly feels suffocated and starts panicking.

Hyunjae took it as a hint for him to go in first and reassures her that he's there beside her.

"You can trust me. Come." he gives her his hand.
"Unnie, you can do it !"

Yina who is standing still on the platform takes a deep breath, before holding Hyunjae's hand and moves inside the tank.

"I got you." Hyunjae hugs her waist after noticing how trembling Yina's body is.

Yina's breathing gets faster, overwhelmed.

"Yina. Angel. Look at me. I got you." the girl looks at her boyfriend, almost crying.

"We have a whole 2 hours. Take your time, Yina." Jacob says, and his words put comfort in Yina's heart.

Hyunjae guides her to breathe properly, telling her to trust him.

"Can we go down, hm ?" Hyunjae asks after 10 minutes of trying to calm her down.

The girl nods, letting her body sinks into the water along with Hyunjae.

"You're doing great !"

Underwater, Yina puts all of her trust in Hyunjae. He guides her throughout the process, and she feels safe.

"Can you guys move closer ?"

Hyunjae pulls Yina gently in his direction, embracing her. Being underwater together gives more butterflies to him, no lie.
